Fellini of the Spirits
Dir: Anselma Dell'Olio
Italy, 2020, 90 minmins
Produced for the centenary of Federico Fellini’s birth, Dell’Olio offers an insightful reconstruction of the master’s rapport with the spiritual and the supernatural. Drawing from unseen archival materials and film clips, the documentary delves into Fellini’s fascinating and mystical vision, inspired by Jungian psychoanalysis, as well as his lifelong passion for esoterica and astrology. It’s an unprecedented and intimate portrait of the great filmmaker, as told through a chorus of voices, ranging from close friends and collaborators to Oscar-winning directors like William Friedkin and Damien Chazelle.
Federico Fellini 100 is part of the Federico Fellini 100 Tour, a series of centennial tributes to Federico Fellini (1920–1993), which will travel to major museums and film institutions worldwide, coordinated by Paola Ruggiero and Camilla Cormanni from Luce Cinecittà. All films (unless noted) have been digitally restored by Luce Cinecittà, Cineteca di Bologna and Cine teca Nazionale.
